Sound failing

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

After updating a bunch of kf5 packages this morning, sound no longer
works. Using KDE under X11, the journal shows:

Jan 03 16:21:16 bree pulseaudio[11942]: [pulseaudio] socket-server.c: bind(): Address already in use
Jan 03 16:21:16 bree pulseaudio[11942]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-esound-protocol-unix" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
Jan 03 16:21:16 bree pulseaudio[11942]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
Jan 03 16:21:16 bree pulseaudio[11942]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
Jan 03 16:21:16 bree pulseaudio[11939]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed.

This repeats multiple times at regular intervals. The Plasma speaker
volume widget shows a '-' sign and apps are silent.

Using Gnome under X11, sound works correctly.

Any ideas?

Ideas?  Not really.  I just wanted to note that I did the same update about 19hrs ago
and only because I hadn't done it in a while I rebooted.  Everything is just fine,
including sound.  This system has only KDE installed.

I rebooted and (touch wood) it seems to be working now. No idea why it
failed as the update didn't touch the kernel and IIRC tracer didn't
tell me to restart anything other than the login session.

Looks like there was already a pulseaudio running.

Indeed, which raises the question of why there was an attempt to start
a new one. Anyway, it's solved now.
